War, Inc.

Post by Freecare Spiritwise »

Fans of Grosse Point Blank rejoice!

For whatever reason this movie went straight to video. I didn't even know it existed - I found it on accident browsing the new DVD releases on Amazon a month or so ago.

It's not really a sequel, but Cusack plays basically the same character, and it's mostly the same cast, including Joan Cusack. It's not as good as the first movie, but it's still really good, and well worth watching if you liked the original.

I especially liked the scene with the women on stage dancing with prosthetic legs, and the announcer saying something like "America is committed to alleviating the suffering it causes". The movie is a real slam against the Bush administration. Everything is fictional, but it's pretty much Haliburton invades Iraq and commercializes its reconstruction. The tanks even have billboard advertisements lol.

It also has Hillary Duff, playing a middle eastern pop star named Yonica Babyyeah.

I really liked it too. I always knew Popeye's Chicken was an evil place.

My friend hated it, I found it absolutely hilarious cause I ignored the political crap.

Hillary Duff firing a machine gun = hot.

(Another good movie that was a straight to video = Southland Tales, check it out)

It was pretty terrible IMO. I was really excited about it and everything. :?

Somebody just gave me that movie this weekend. I'll have to watch it.
